ABS-CBN News

MANILA – Twenty overseas Filipinos, whose inspiring stories of hope continue to make a difference in the lives of their families and communities, have been chosen as winners in the "Pamilya Ko, Buhay Ko" campaign in celebration of The Filipino Channel's 20 years of service.

Sponsored by TFC's remittance arm in the Philippines, E-MoneyPlus, Inc, through its brand myREMIT, the campaign was launched last year and searched the world for overseas Filipinos who have triumphed over adversity, built their dreams especially for their kapamilyas and paid it forward to others and their communities.

"Sifting through the entries was an inspiring yet emotionally tough job for the team. Reading through each story proved to be an even more daunting task as each of the OFs had a touching story to tell. We at TFC and myREMIT are glad we pursued this search and are humbled by these admirable OFs," said myREMIT Business Unite Head Raymund Abog.

The 20 winners who conveyed the values of love for family, diligence, hard work and generosity to others are the following:

Over 200 overseas Filipino sent their entries and photos via TFC’s Facebook pages worldwide. Specifically, the winning entries were chosen based on how they were able to help their family, friends or communities in their own way and have become sources of inspiration to others. As part of their prize, each of the winners received P20,000 through myREMIT.

In addition, the winners are being featured every week on “TFC Connect's” Tuesday episodes until September on TFC worldwide.

Catch them on DZMM 630 and DZMM Teleradyo soon. TFC Connect and DZMM Teleradyo programs can be seen on TFC’s satellite, internet protocol (IPTV), mobile and online (TFC.tv) platforms worldwide.
